The recipe

Instructions

  1. 1
    Drain the tomatillos. Roughly chop the onion, jalapeños (deseed for less heat) and garlic.
  2. 2
    Blitz everything together in a food processor with the coriander, lime juice and salt.
  3. 3
    Stop while there's still some texture — you want a chunky purée, not a smoothie.
  4. 4
    Taste and adjust: more lime if flat, more salt if dull, more chilli if you want heat.
  5. 5
    Pour into a jar. Lasts a week in the fridge — the flavour deepens overnight.
